*JUDE OGBECHE NGAJI IS ALSO HUMAN:*

Posted By Eje Peter

It was Aristotle who categorically stated that,  man is a political animal, in which his political sojourn, he operates with fellow men and women to achieve result.

 Furthermore the ancient philosopher holds that, any man without this necessary attribute of relating with others, is either a beast or a god.

Wary of this age long truth, Jude Ogbeche  Ngaji has not only sought ways to dymistify those irritating webs of obscurity that beclouds friendship, brotherhood, followership or relationship, be it outside his tribe or culture,   but goes all out to live his life for others, a scenario our Christian brothers and sisters will refer to as a christ-like attitude.

Jude Ngaji, believes in the unity and oneness of Ogoja, Obudu, Obanliku, Bekwarra and Yala. He believes that, what is good for one is better for others. He believes that, Yala should be great, if and only if Obudu, Bekwarra, Obanliku and Ogoja are great. He believes that, his ambition, is not worth neglecting human needs.
He believes that, life is sweet when lived for others.

As a young man with a lot of achievements to his credit, both in the political realm, his spiritual life, his academic endeavors and above all his social life, Jude Ogbeche Ngaji has always been known for excellence wrapth in the collective efforts of hardwork, deligence, consistency and the support of friends and associates. It has never been about Jude Ngaji alone.

His achievements can not be adequately quantified and listed, because they are not only in physical structures, they permeate the spiritual and  psychological aspects of those who constantly come in contact with him, and others who have gotten to benefit from his act of benevolence from a distance. An act, he prefers remain secret.

The fantastic thing about Jude Ngaji is that, aside being a workaholic type, he revers his God and creates time for Him. The deep spirituality of Mr. Jude Ngaji, finds its basis from the home he comes from, a family that is rooted in Gods love, direction  and mercy. As a person, quite naturally just like St Francis of Asisi  adopted a philosophy, which is " *TO BE ALL THINGS TO ALL MEN WHO NEEDS HIS HELP OR SERVICE".*

Mr. Jude Ogbeche Ngaji, for once does not pretend to be who he is not. His greatest desire is to live his life out for public evaluation to enable him correct any anomalies. This ofcourse validates the fact that, Jude Ngaji is also human with lots of weaknesses and frailties, indeed, humanity Is also imbedded in Jude Ogbeche Ngaji.

Quite unfortunate,in our clan and region, especially in Nothern Cross River, people are outgrown with some distorted ideology that politicians who desire to serve are gods and should be regarded as one in all respect. Jude Ngaji frowns at this conception, and has broken all barriers tied to this misconstrued ideology. For him, a politician no matter how highly placed he or she maybe, is no different from the ordinary man in the street with blood and veins.

A historical excursus of Jude's life as a growing young man, to when he started gaining firm in the political atmosphere of Cross River State as well as Nigeria, Jude Ogbeche Ngaji has build his successes through the collective efforts of people. He believes that life is live and lets live. He holds as his idealogy, the total regard for harmonious monism, which is fine tuned by accessibility, transparency and devotion to duty.

Obviously, as one grows in responsibilities, issues, problems  and situations grow in same manner if not above.

As a state security adviser, Mr. Jude Ogbeche Ngaji, works day and night to make sure Cross River is safe. This is the more reason, he sleeps everyday of his life not before 4am unless he is down in health. Aside professional assignments and responsibilities,  Jude Ngaji as far as Cross River State is concern, is referred to as *God sent to humanity.** This unanimous agreement of the above name, is hinged on the fact that, Jude has a listening ear, and cares to a fault. He receives on daily basis, not less than, 100 request for financial assistance, job assistance and the likes. This he does, along side never ending phone calls and text messages counting in thousands daily. This is a man, who as an African, must equally attend to large family  and friends needs and above all, attend to his immediate family. He does all these, with the little he receives as State Security Adviser, he does this, sacrificially without any help from people to assist him carter for the sick, the needy, the world's anawim. He does this constant assistance everyday of his life without regrets or complain, because for him, it is in giving that we receive. His giving attitude, predates today that the people wants him to serve them at the National Assembly as a Senator, it is an old long tradition anchored on care giving without gains or pay back.

Conversely, in reaching to these numerous challenges, man is bound to be found wanting with regard to peoples demand in total.

 However, the good news is that, Mr. Jude Ogbeche Ngaji finds joy in seeing people happy and fulfilled, and has always created avenues and ways to make this a long standing opportunity and tradition.

He may sometimes not act as we want him to, he may sometimes wish he could do all that we expect of him, but we should always not lost focus of the fact that, Jude Ogbeche Ngaji is also human.

The political background of Cross River North, is centered on the fact that, " *if you are not in my camp, I cant help you".* Jude Ogbeche Ngaji, wants us to outlived such backward mentality and build a strong force as a family were people's problems are solved on the basis of their needs and not on the sentiments of where one belongs or the political family he or she identifies.

Consequently, this ideology of harmonious monism, the decision to change things for the better, the readiness to serve the youths, the men, and our women, is really not easy to achieve if we are not given a platform to do so.

 In that regard, if the unity of Cross River North means anything to us as a people, as individuals, as groups, as students, as market women, as farmers, as elders and as Muslims or Christians or better still Traditional African people, a Jude Ngaji senate, devoid of  tribal sentiments and hatred will bring the needed change of mentality and approach to issues and opportunities. It will bring about a new Cross River North. Jude Ngaji is one man who has never held elected position, yet has been touching lives daily, what then will happen if he eventually wins as Senator. This is a clear case of Jesus' question -if men could use the green wood like this, what will happen when it is tried. Indeed, we need Jude Ogbeche Ngaji to safe Cross River North from pretentious brotherhood, pretentious leadership, pretentious relationships, pretentious and intentional givings to score political points.

Finally, we fall to rise, we fail to succeed, we miss steps, stumble and crumble, just to get up and try again . We are humans, we have frailties, we have weaknesses, we have faults, we have our short comings, we have our mistakes, we are not perfect. This is because we are not gods or beasts,  we are only humans,  and if Jude Ogbeche Ngaji is found wanting in of any of the above mentioned, it is only because, he too, is human.

Come let's reason together and project a youth for Senate in Northern Cross River.
